The grand canyon and desert in the west forged cowboys and tempered the adventurous, free, tenacious and flexible spirit of westerners. If the adventure of a century ago was to expand territory, then the robot paradise in westworld was to explore the boundaries between human hearts and desires. At any time, survival is everything and the primary purpose.
